Introducing Indiestructible

You'll all have heard about Indiestructible - and seen this cover everywhere - by now. I'm kinda late to the party. But it doesn't hurt to remind you again...

This is a fantastically inspiring insight into the self-publishingventures of our favourite bloggers. Plus, when you buy it, your 99c will go straight to a great charity which is helping to break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy!

And for those who have been living in Outer Mongolia for the last couple of months here's Jessica to explain what it's all about in her own words...

ONLY 99c TO HELP SUPPORT THE INDIE AUTHOR AND AN AMAZING
CHARITY!

by Jessica Bell

The
day I realized I’d been obsessing over my sales figures way too much was the
day I closed my eyes and tried to think about the real reason I am an indie
author.

Is
my primary goal to make money? No. So why do I keep obsessing over my sales
stats? I realized it’s because more sales means more people reading my work.
What I really really want is to be
read. I want to share the one thing in this world I would cut my fingers off
for. I know. If I didn’t have any fingers, I wouldn’t be able to physically
write, but you know what I mean.

My
passion for writing comes with a perpetual replacement button, attached to my
side seam, just in case it becomes unraveled, and falls off, after a day
gallivanting through the publishing jungle. It can be tough in there, but in
the end, being an indie author is OH SO WORTH IT.

This
made me wonder … what’s everybody else’s story?

Then Indiestructible was born.

Need
motivation and inspiration to self-publish, or sign that contract with an
interested small press? Have you done all the research you can, but still feel
ambivalent about the idea? Indiestructible: Inspiring Stories from the
Publishing Jungle brings you the experiences of 29 indie
authors—their passions, their insights, their successes—to help you make the
leap into indie publishing.

This is not a how-to guide. This is the best of
the indie tradition of experienced authors paying forward what they’ve learned,
giving you information to help you on your journey. The personal essays in this
book will leave you itching to get your work into the hands of readers and
experience, first-hand, all the rewards indie publishing has to offer.

Not only is
this anthology packed full of interesting, unique, and genuinely helpful
information, and totally worth the 99c (only 99c!!!), 100% of proceeds will be donated
to BUILDON.org, a movement which breaks the
cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations through service and
education.

Pretty amazing,
huh?

What are you
waiting for?
